Merci ~ Atteatude and Chocolate ~ Giveaway Announcement

When I started blogging just over a year ago, I wasn't sure how long this "project" would last; what I would write about; who would read what I wrote - if anyone; but, with the encouragement of my speech therapist and the psychologist at the time, I agreed it was worth a try. After all, I really needed to work on re-developing my writing and communications skills.

So, I started writing ... I still recall the feeling I felt when I realized I had my first follower; when I hit 10 I thought wow! But what really touched me were the heart felt, supportive and encouraging comments people were leaving. All I can say is MERCI... without you, I may have given up yet another "project" to try and get me communicating back with the world and getting a life.

Much has happened along the way ...  a few more people clicked their heels on over and before I knew it, I was learning about new things, like Lilly dresses, who knew that a simple dress would make my life so much easier. I also discovered that I could write and post at anytime, so on days when I'm feeling drained I can write at night or when I feel energetic. Discovering the pre-scheduled feature was like eating ice-cream on a very hot day. I started to visit other people and reading what they were writing ~ I found many inspirational posts. What I also discover was that I was building genuine friendships in this virtual world. I have even been fortunate to have met a couple of you in the non-virtual world and you inspire me even more ..  Sandy ; Barry  ; Suburban Princess.

You are probably thinking ... ok... but what is

Atteatude and Chocolate and what's the Giveaway?

Well because of you wonderful readers, and your supportive and encouraging words and sharing of your own journies and success... I am happy to say that I have begun to embrace country living and the simple life that comes with it =  starting to embrace the slowly emerging "Me Version 2.0".

I have discovered a cup tea while visiting and reading your blogs,  is actually very calming and almost theraputic for me; I find on days when I would have just curled up under the covers, I'm accepting my lap top from Mr. G - to check in on you or if you haven't posted for awhile I'm hoping to see a post from you, meaning everything  is ok on your end. With all your wonderful posts on chocolate (pre-accident my friends referred to me as the chocolate aficionado ~ after not so much interest in it) I started exploring and discovered sipping chocolate is like heaven in a cup, igniting my taste buds. I have also learned that - attitude, really does matter to moving forward .... put it all together and you get....

ATTEATUDE and Chocolate

My new blog where I will write about my deepened love and appreciation of tea and new found passion of sipping chocolate, my dreams for the future, the small things that really matter and the comfort I feel when I take a moment to enjoy life and truly live in the moment.

And to celebrate it's launch I'm hosting a great Mystery Give-Aways (I can tell you its going to include many of my favourite things and there will be multiple winners)... all you have to do is click on over become a follower of ATTEATUDE and  Chocolate and leave a comment there, saying you are now following, before the official launch, which will happen within the next few weeks ENTER GIVEAWAY at ATTEATUDE and Chocolate ~ click here

Don't worry I will still continue posting here and to share my journey  ~ challenges and triumphs to creating Me Version 2.0 and hopefully continue to inspire others to keep going forward one step at a time.

Spring Skin Care ~ and a Giveaway

With the warm temperatures slowly making their way into our spring days, most of us have been busy cleaning out our flower beds; throwing open windows as we clean and clean some more our homes from the  hibernation and accumulation of things during winter.

What about our skin care?

A rich moisturizer may have been great for protecting your skin from the harshness of outiside cold and indoor dryness from our home heating systems during the winter months, but with the warmer weather it may feel quite heavy and greasy.This is the time to switch to a lighter moisturizer, not only will it feel better on your face, it will help lessen clogged pores.

It is also important to pay attention to sun protection. From your skin to your hair - the hot sun can make them as crisp as bacon. Hydration is key during the hot months of summer.

Just in time to help us tranisition from cold weather to warm weather The Seeker from Searching the Inner Me is hosting a fabulous giveaway for SkinCareRx. The winner will receive a $25 gift card to use on Apothica.com, SkinCareRx.com, or SkinBotanica.com.

CLICK HERE TO ENTER GIVEAWAY

Drinking lots of water during the warm months is one of the best and simplest things we can do for our skin. Plain water can be a little boring, keeping a pitcher in the fridge infused with lemons; strawberries; cucumbers or combinations of fruits - will look more interesting and inviting.

Breakfast At Tiffany's Giveaway!!

From the first time I saw BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S I was hooked not only on the fabulous Audrey Hepburn~ but the whole package. Simplicity, elegance and that little Blue Box.  Though it would be years before I would own anything that came in that magical box, the little black dress instantly became a wardrobe old faithful!

There was something in that movie that I found delightfully over-the-top delicious, and not until just recently did I stumble across the ability to have one. Can you guess?

If you guessed the aqua sleep mask, you are correct!

So, when I came across this awesome find !! I got an additional one for one lucky HHL reader!
